Sport Quotes

If we have a situation where a man is particularly graceful in a sport that rewards grace - say, for example, figure skating - why is it that we don’t say to the man, ‘Well, you’re too feminine to compete?’... I don’t understand why we don’t find it offensive also to say to a women who’s very strong, ‘You’re too masculine to compete.’ Picture Quote #1

If judging people on first impressions were an Olympic sport, they’d suspect me of using steroids Picture Quote #1

First impressions matter more in basketball than in any other sport, and they can be savored only in person. Players can’t hide behind pads or helmets, so we can stare at them, evaluate every move they make: running, jumping, walking, even ogling the cheerleaders. We can see every ripple and tattoo. If they’re lazy, we can tell Picture Quote #1

Floyd Mayweather is bigger than the sport. That’s the thing. Because you can go to somebody who don’t even know what boxing is and say, Floyd Mayweather. They’ll go, Oh, I know Floyd Mayweather. I’ve heard that name Picture Quote #1

Fly fishing or any other sport fishing, is an end in itself and not a game or competition among fishermen. . . Picture Quote #1

If you see in sports at a super high level, people get hurt or have injuries when there isn’t that pleasure, the true pleasure of the sport, when they’re tired or demoralized or they’re not quite focused Picture Quote #1

Agents are nasty scum. They’re evil and divisive and pointless. They only survive because the rest of the sport is so corrupt and because leading football club people employ their sons in the job Picture Quote #1

Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make the world’s greatest football undershirt. But I realized that no team sport had equipment for apparel. Apparel was an afterthought Picture Quote #1

For a kid who’s lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very Picture Quote #1

Soccer was the first sport that my parents put me in, and ultimately, all the parents kind of came over to my mom and were, ‘We think Channing would be better at football.... We love him, he’s really great, but he’s kind of hurting our children.’ I was just a little wild Picture Quote #1

I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think - there’s nothing that can replace that Picture Quote #1

Surely, sport is not fundamentally about the safety of athletes. If it were, we’d probably have to ban professional football, right after boxing Picture Quote #1

In football, it’s the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There’s so many things that goes into making plays. It’s about teammates trusting one another and working together Picture Quote #1

There is much romanticism about Formula One of the past. Today it has to be more of a family sport, not less. It is a fixture in the Sunday afternoon TV programmes, and probably flamboyance - those white silk suits and devil-may-care attitudes - would be outworn attributes today Picture Quote #1

Cricket is a self-sustaining industry; but corporates need to realise that other sports don’t have that luxury. This is the time when they need to invest, and keep the faith. Every sport has the potential to create world champions. Imagine India as a country full of world champions. Why imagine? Let’s just make it happen Picture Quote #1
